A section of 12th Street, between Q and R streets, will close Feb. 2 to accommodate university and City of Lincoln construction projects.

The work includes a major renovation and expansion of the Lied Center for Performing Arts. The privately-funded project is scheduled to continue through September 2027.

Pedestrian access will remain available on the north side of the Lied Center along R Street and on the west side of the Temple Building along 12th Street. Parking will not be available in the closed area.

Additional details about the Lied Center project will be shared in the coming weeks.
